Chapter three

Zabimaru, Roar

"...its to small really... I don't know how to use a dagger" Ichigo sweatdropped as he looked at her blade. Raika frowned then sighed.

"Well...how am i suppose to learn how to fight then" he asked her face falling. Ichigo frowned and then picked up Zabimaru who had slid to his feet when her body had fallen. She looked at it then a smile appeared on her face.

"Thats a good idea I can use that sword!" Ichigo looked at her he really wasn't plaining on letting her but now that he thought about it. He knew how to teach sword fighting but her Zanpakto was to small to be used like a normal sword. It was likely that her zanpakto's Shikai form later when she did unlock it would be a sword it would be good practice. Raika grabbed the sword from him and slid the sheath off her hands went right to the correct position she then waited as Ichigo grabbed a practice sword.

"Ok same as before Raika..." he said lightly. The girl nodded slowly then charged for him he blocked her. She then slid her blade down the practice one Ichigo raised and eyebrow as she did this then suddenly he found himself having to block a slice aimed at his stomach. She then pulled he blade back and charged for him he ducked her and she skidded to a stop. He put his sword down slightly and she lowered hers as he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "You've been practicing alone haven't you?" he asked

"n-no?' she said lightly as she looked at him. Ichigo nodded slowly so Zabimaru was helping her he smirked.

"I see...Zabimaru must like you to be helping you so much" he said with a chuckle.

"W-what?" she looked at the Zanpakto

"Thats the name of that sword...its old owner use to release his Shikai by calling out Roar Zabimaru" he said laughing. Raika looked at him the frowned.

"That sounds funny...wouldn't Zabimaru Roar sound..." suddenly the sword in her hand started to change forms as it did a black haired woman stuck her head into the room. Her eyes went wide as she saw the young nine year old holding Zabimaru witch was now a long teethed blade with detachable segments.

"I-Ichigo...why is...she...holding...Zabimaru...in Shikai!" Rukia stared at her. Suddenly Zabimaru attacked of its own accord. Raika looked shocked as she followed after the blade. Suddenly Ichigo pulled his Zengetsu off his back knowing all to well that the training sword would not hold up to Zabimaru's Shikai form.

"HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW!!!" he yelled. Rukia hadn't seen him this flustered in a long time. Raika looked like she had just been tossed in cold water as she stood there. "Please...Raika call him off I have a feeling he will listen to you" Ichigo said as he continued to hold the blade at bey with his own. Raika nodded slowly but then sweatdropped.

"...Uhh...how!" she said looking at him.

"Just tell the spirit in the sword to quite close your eyes you should be able to see him." Ichigo said he closed her eyes slowly. And a form appeared before her it looked like a baboon but it had a long serpent for a tail. She stared at his then slowly she spoke in her mind.

"Could you please...leave Ichigo alone..." she said. Zabimaru looked at her when she opened her eyes the sword was by her side and Ichigo had his sword down as well.

"Rukia...has anyone ever been able to use another's Zanpakto?" he asked. Rukia who had stepped into the room by now shook her head slowly.

"uhh..no..." she frowned. Ichigo nodded and then sighed looking at her.

"well at least she didn't unlock Zabimaru's Bankai..." he frowned as he said it. The girl looked at him slightly.

"...Bankai?" she said slowly suddenly the sword changed shape again this time the room around them was nearly destroyed as a large skeletal snake coiled from Zabimaru. Ichigo's eyes widened even more as he looked at it this was definitely impossible but then he was looking at it with his own eyes. She had just used another's blade and took it to Bankai with out so much as two days training. Rukia looked eve more shocked then Ichigo as the sword had thrown her back when it had transformed she was one the ground staring wide eyed at the huge snake. The snakes head bent down towards the young girl and looked her in the eyes. Ichigo watched but he was nervous this had never been done before. The snake then nuzzled up to her. Young Raika smiled and then put her hands on its head.

"Ichigo! Hes so sweet" she said smiling. Ichigo sweatdropped as he heard her. She had to be kidding him Zabimaru had always had a temper but right now it acted like a pet almost to the blond haired girl. Suddenly the snake like figure disappeared and a sword clattered to the ground as Raika passed out as well and her soul disappeared back into her body. Ichigo stared at her then the blade for a moment.

"W-what just happened?" Rukia said as she looked at Ichigo.

"She used to much energy...Bankai's are taxing" he frowned as he walked over to the blade and picked it up tucking it into his sash for the moment. He then picked up Raika and looked at Rukia.

"I think...I need to keep an eye on her..." he said Rukia nodded as she watched Ichigo with the girl it was to bad they had never had kids. The more she watched him the more she knew he would of made a good father.

"Ichigo...how was she able t-to do that?" she frowned. Ichigo shook his head lightly.

"I have an idea...but it sounds stupid even to me...I think...Zabimaru might have a crush on her..." he said smirking. Rukia stared at him but then it did make some since Zanpaktos had feelings she knew that well enough they became angry and would often yell loudly when they where around someone who made them mad, but having a crush something so human. She looked at the blade tucked into her own sash. "Ya...i know it sound stupid but its the only thing i can think to explain Zabimaru listening to her...but how she got it to Bankai with out any training is beyond me...I think there might be more to this girls heritage then meets they eye...just like our old friend" he looked at her coyly Rukia knew who he was talking about and nodded.

"Y-you think she might be..." Ichigo put his hand up and she stopped.

"I don't know and until i do i would rather not talk about it" he said.
